I still don’t understand why Ineos gives me a lot of useless switches on my roof panel without any explanation. Therefore, and thanks to this forum my next DIY post (DIY: Do It Yourself), and I didn’t find on this forum somebody who already did it, but perhaps I am wrong …
I dismounted the Left-Hand Drive (LHD) footwell side panels (Driver side) with the intention to use the auxiliary power point (not yet documented by Ineos, but well bespoken on this forum, thanks to the discovery of a hero … I don’t remember whom).
Like always, for the RHD (abbreviation well known on this forum), please do it the other way (wrong way )
[EDITED] As mentioned by @DCPU this step isn't necessary to reach the auxiliary power point. I leave it for informationFirst thing, pull of this side wall, as straight as possible: the direction is toward the back of the car, beginning with the lower part (that’s what I did).
First thing, remove the “step”, or how is it called, by pulling it vertically (I have done it already 100 times since I got my car without apparent damage, well less than 100 times, but …)
Second, remove the bonnet opening lever. The screw needs a Torx bit TX25 to unscrew.
Then there is a second similar screw to unscrew.
Then there is a larger screw to unscrew from that same plastic piece on the “step” (TX30).
And you should be able to “unclip” that sidewall pilar (LHD) pulling it as much as possible towards the center of the car.
And you have access to these electrical wires, and what I am looking for:
The “ground” wire is black, the positive wire is “purple+green”. I did connect my Deutsch male pins to it (has been documented elsewhere on this forum). This should be the INT1 wire, switched on by the corresponding roof panel button. (should be because I have a wiring mistake on my car).
(See the following instructions on next post)
